LARAMIE, Wyo.
Authentic Harrison Barnes Mavericks Jersey . -- Wyoming coach Larry Shyatt was familiar with this feeling -- even if it had
been a while. Riley Grabau scored 17 points, Larry Nance Jr. had 14 and the
Cowboys beat No. 5 San Diego State 68-62 on Tuesday night to end the Aztecs
20-game winning streak. Shyatt was Wyomings coach 16 years ago -- almost to the
day -- the last time a top-five team was upset in Arena-Auditorium. That was
Feb. 12, 1998, when the Cowboys took down No. 5 Utah 62-56 on the same floor.
"Its like a good bottle of wine -- it gets better with age," Shyatt said. The
Cowboys (15-9, 6-5 Mountain West Conference) savored another marquee win Tuesday
as fans rushed the court after the final buzzer, mobbing Wyoming players. "Their
only other loss was to Arizona," Nance said. "I mean, to be in that category is
awesome, you know? Fifth-ranked team, the fans storming the court like they did,
it was spectacular." The Aztecs (21-2, 10-1) won 20 in row after losing to
Arizona in their second game of the season. The streak tied the program mark set
by the 2010-11 team, which finished a school-record 34-3 after reaching the
Sweet Sixteen for the first time. "This is a tough league and you go on the road
and it becomes even tougher. And with the win streak we had, I think everybody
knows it and everybody talks about they want to be the team to break it and
storm the court," SDSU coach Steve Fisher said. "And to Wyomings credit, they
were the ones. They were the ones that did it. They played better and they
deserved one." Dwayne Polee II led San Diego State with 15 points, followed by
Xavier Thames with 13. "Youve just got to take it as a learning experience,"
said Thames, who was averaging 18.1 points. "Theres a lot of season left, so we
cant hang our heads." Wyoming built a 16-point lead midway through the second
half, catching the Aztecs defence lagging several times. At one point, the
Cowboys slammed down four consecutive dunks. San Diego State mounted a furious
comeback, closing within four points with 1:04 left and again with 40 seconds to
go on two buckets by Winston Shepard, who finished with 10 points. But the
Aztecs, who were averaging 73.4 points, failed to score again as Wyoming pulled
away with free throws in the final 30 seconds. Nathan Sobey and Charlie
Hankerson Jr. each had nine points for Wyoming, which used an efficient offence
and a stifling defence to stop San Diego State. The game featured the top two
defensive teams in the Mountain West. Entering the game, San Diego State was
giving up an average of 56.6 points, while the Cowboys were allowing 60.4. But
it was the Aztecs who had the most trouble making baskets, hitting 38 per cent
of their field goals and committing 13 turnovers while Wyoming made 58 per cent
of its attempts from the floor and had 11 turnovers. The Cowboys took a 32-23
halftime lead, closing out the last 4:20 of the first half with a 10-3 run keyed
by two 3-pointers from Grabau.

for defensive help from the rookie point guard playing in just his sixth game.

set to set, game to game, point to point, shot to shot. SAN ANTONIO -- Unable to
comfortably separate from the young Toronto Raptors, the San Antonio Spurs
turned to a proven finishing formula - Tony Parker driving for layups when he
wasnt kicking the ball to open teammates on the perimeter. Parker had 26 points
and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night. "We won that
game because of Tony Parkers aggressiveness," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said.
"His juice; his aggression all night long. And we made some 3s in the fourth
quarter. Those are the two reasons we won the game." Parker had eight points and
three assists in the final quarter, committing just one turnover in 9 minutes.
"A win is a win," Parker said. "Theyve been playing well, the Raptors. They had
a big win in (Oklahoma City) and they made it hard on us." Coming off a 104-98
victory over the Thunder on Sunday, the Raptors got within three or less on
numerous occasions in the second half, but couldnt complete the rallies against
the Spurs. "It was a superior team, I think, first of all," Toronto coach Dwane
Casey said. "You talk about one of the top teams in the West. Talking to the
Oklahoma City coach, they feel the same way about how tough San Antonio is."
Toronto trailed 57-56 after DeMar DeRozans 3 with 9:22 left in the third
quarter, but Parker and Tim Duncan combined for eight points to rebuilding San
Antonios lead to 67-59. In his second game off the bench after starting the
Spurs first 26 games, Danny Green hit a pair of 3s to put San Antonio up 90-80
with just under 8 minutes remaining. Green was 4 for 6 on 3-pointers in scoring
14 points for the Spurs (21-7). "I didnt bench him because he wasnt making
shots," Popovich said. "You dont bench people because theyre not making shots.
We changed the look and changed the rotation a little bit. It could change
again." The change helped San Antonio overcome a Toronto team that had gone 4-2
since trading leading scorer Rudy Gay to Sacramento on Dec. 9. Kyle Lowry and
Terrence&nnbsp;Ross had 23 points each and DeRozan added 13 points for the
Raptors (11-15).
Authentic Kemba Walker Hornets Jersey. Ross was 3 for 6 on 3s and 10 for 16 overall. Toronto kept pace despite giving up 16
offensive rebounds, being outscored 52-36 in the paint and allowing San Antonio
to score a season-high 24 second-chance points. The Raptors also had 13
turnovers. "That was the kicker," Casey said. "That was difference in the game,
our turnovers and the defensive glass. We didnt do a good job of turning and
finding the body and thats mental fatigue. We had been doing a good job of
keeping people off the glass and attacking the basket, but youre not talking
about chopped liver in San Antonio. They are going to be in the money at the end
of the season." The bench again provided San Antonio a lift, with Ginobili and
Patty Mills each hitting a 3 as the reserves outscored their peers 18-2 in the
second quarter. Ginobilis 3 gave the Spurs their largest lead at 52-43 with 2:20
remaining in the half. Still, Toronto closed a three-game road trip with
victories over Oklahoma City and the Dallas Mavericks. "Were happy with it, we
wanted to be greedy and get 3-0, but 2-1 against these three teams is pretty
good, well take it," Lowry said. NOTES: DeRozan was assessed a technical foul
with 4:33 remaining in the first quarter for continuing to argue a continuation
call against him after official Lauren Holtkamp warned him, "Thats enough." .
The Spurs recalled G Nando De Colo and F Malcolm Thomas from their developmental
team in Austin. De Colo had 31 points, nine assists, six rebounds and four
steals in a 131-94 victory over the Delaware 87ers on Saturday. . Former Spurs C
David Robinson received a loud ovation, including applause from officials
Holtkamp, Danny Crawford and Tony Brown, when he appeared on the big screen at
midcourt to acknowledge his military service. . Steve Novaks streak of
turnover-free play ended at 202 minutes after entering with 3 minutes left in
the game. It was the longest active streak in the league.
